About the host

Hosted by Dave

Host profile image
We love Shelter Island and this is our dream house. There is no greater pleasure than waking up to the many birds that live on the property, gardening early in the morning, walking to the beach club for a quick refreshing swim, and then preparing a delicious dinner with fresh produce from the many island farmstands and fresh seafood just caught in the Bay. Shelter Island is a beautiful place and the Heights is a relaxing, centrally located, delight. It's lost in time - and that's how we prefer it. Yet, wifi connects you the the world and the Hampton Jitney is a six minute ferry ride away for meetings or work in Manhattan. The Shelter island Yacht Club is a five minute walk from the house - great for dinner or cocktails and incredible sailing program for children.

Why they chose this property

Shelter Island is the very last unspoiled part of Long Island, NY. Our family has been on Shelter Island since 1929 and we summered here as babies with our grandparents. This home is an authentic Victorian Gingerbread, built in the 1880's - yet upgraded and modernized (new roof, furnace, central air)

What makes this property unique

Town Goat Hill Golf Course is 5 minutes away
Heights Beach Club is two minute walk away
Town is steps away - The Chequit Hotel within sight of the house. We are very centrally located - yet Spring Garden Avenue is very, very quiet.
The Outdoor Shower is great after the beach
Our wraparound porches are lovely - and nice for dinner (in the screened porch) and cocktails outdoors. Welcome!
